Everton are hopeful of re-signing Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea for £18million and are in talks over another loan for 6ft 8in striker Lacina Traore of Monaco.

Manager Roberto Martinez has made enquiries for Chelsea's Demba Ba also but has been given renewed hope that a deal can be struck for Lukaku who wants a permanent move from Stamford Bridge.

Martinez said: 'We are still talking with Monaco. We always wanted Lacina to be with us. We know the potential of Rom and Chelsea have been very good with the player and we have been really close with our relationship. We need to find out where we are.'
